Search: Starring Sienna Guillory

Directing with confidence and misdirecting with grace, Paxton draws us into a world where the absence of apparent solutions becomes compelling in itself.

Banderas is convincing in this role but he is the only actor who brings any grace to a movie which is filmed with a dark and obscure filter to match the unredeemingly seedy world it portrays.

While it's got some quirks it's relatively inoffensive, and if it feels like damning it with faint praise to say it's got nothing drastically wrong with it then fair enough.

The film has more violent action than a PG-certificate dares admit to and looks suitably legendary.

There is a skittishness to Guy Myhill's debut that initially feels impressionistic but ultimately seems like carelessness as his narrative weaves unsteadily through its central character's coming of age, unsure where to place its emphasis.

In the literal act of performance there is room to talk about self as performance, and that is where High-Rise is strongest.

Frankly, it’s a muddle.

Saul Metzstein's first film, brilliantly scripted by Jack Lothian, has the confidence of a true original.

The whole affair is a dishevelled mess, with no linear narrative, no cohesion in the script or characters, and a revolting grimy looking film which drowns in its own cadaverous undercurrents.

Full of shocks, but disappointingly light on horror.

Audiences really need to wake up and put the nail in the Anderson Evil coffin once and for all.

The film benefits from not taking itself too seriously.
